  • latin1 - the ISO Latin1 8-bit encoding; this is the default
  • ISO-8859-1 - the ISO Latin1 8-bit encoding
  • UTF-8 - the Unicode 8-bit encoding
  • Unicode - the Unicode 16-bit encoding (Little-Endian)
  • UnicodeBig - the Unicode 16-bit encoding (Big-Endian)
  • Any other NLS definitions installed on this Ensemble server
  • @<ttable> - <ttable> means a raw InterSystems character translation table name. A prefix of '@' means to use the named table.

property RememberFlex as %Boolean [ InitialExpression = 0 ];
Set this if you want to make an interface that is set to Framing='Flexible' continue with the Framing style it detects in the first message it receives. This can increase performance, reduce latency due to timeouts and ensure consistent behavior after initialization. However, it will also reduce the ability of the interface to interpret changing input formats in successive messages from the same source or from different sources on sequential connections.

Methods (Including Private)

private method %OnNew(initvalue As %CacheString) as %Status
Inherited description: This callback method is invoked by the %New() method to provide notification that a new instance of an object is being created.

If this method returns an error then the object will not be created.

It is passed the arguments provided in the %New call. When customizing this method, override the arguments with whatever variables and types you expect to receive from %New(). For example, if you're going to call %New, passing 2 arguments, %OnNew's signature could be:

Method %OnNew(dob as %Date = "", name as %Name = "") as %Status If instead of returning a %Status code this returns an oref and this oref is a subclass of the current class then this oref will be the one returned to the caller of %New method.

method DoneGet() as %Boolean
method ParseFramedIOStream(pIOStream As %IO.I.CharacterStream, Output pDoc As EnsLib.EDI.X12.Document, pInbound As %Boolean = 0, ByRef pIOLogEntry As Ens.Util.IOLog = $$$NULLOREF) as %Status
Read an X12 document from the given IO Stream Returned %Status codes are not logged, except for Exceptions
method ParseIOStream(pIOStream As %IO.I.CharacterStream, Output pDocument As EnsLib.EDI.X12.Document, ByRef pControlVersion As %String = "", pInbound As %Boolean = 0, pFramed As %Boolean = 0) as %Status
Parse a complete X12 interchange document from the stream, including any nested TransactionSet documents inside it. An Interchange contains zero or more functional groups which in turn contain TransactionSets.
method Reset()
method ResetPosition()
method StripWhitespace(pLine As %String) as %String
Strip off leading whitespace from the line
classmethod applyFraming(pFraming As %String, pFlexDefault As %String = "xxf") as %String
private method readBinarySegment(tDoc As EnsLib.EDI.X12.Document, ByRef pLine As %String, pZB As %String, tDataElementSeparator As %String) as %Status
